Open top and goldfish?

0

Has anyone had a fancy goldfish jump? I haven't been able to get (or afford) a good top for our 75 and have been using ones from our old 55 which have a 6 inch gap in the back, but I'm just not liking the look.

I'd love to run open top (the light is a pc light with its own legs and splash shield) but wasn't sure if goldfish were known to jump. If anyones had an experience with them carpet surfing then I would get egg crate, but open top just looks so much more pleasing to the eye

I don't have a top on my 55 gallon and no problems. My round bumbles are slow and not that motivated. Now, dangle some food up there and they might turn into Shamu

lol, I watched one the other day act like Shamu going after a small plant that was floating. I bet half its body was out of the water. No top is certainly easier as far as the daily replanting of the plants. I can't wait until they root themselves
